Announcing the release of Evolution (E #2)

Author, Kate Wrath:

Evolution, the second book in the E series, is now available! Get Evolution and E for only 99¢ each during release week, November 12th-19th, 2014.

 

Outpost Three is still standing… barely. But the deadliest threat it has ever faced is on its way– a violent force that will annihilate every man, woman, and child.

With the Sentries under his control and Grey’s army defeated, Matt is more powerful than ever. Eden is little more than his prisoner, but that line is blurring as her affection for him grows. Now, as the Outpost faces total destruction, Matt must sacrifice the possibility of attaining Eden’s love in the vague hope that her past might hold the key to saving them all.

Eden’s journey will begin to unravel the mysteries of her previous life, reveal dangerous new questions, and change not only the future of Outpost Three, but shape the course of history.

This eagerly anticipated sequel to Kate Wrath’s E begins an epic quest into the dark, dystopian landscape of Eden’s world.

Get both books in the E series, E and Evolution, for 99¢ each on Kindle for a limited time only: November 12th- 19th, 2014.

An excerpt from Evolution:

We run down the narrow alley and take the first turn, then another. We keep running, moving. I don’t even notice my surroundings until, at last, we slow to a stop. The smell hits me first—the stench of piss, of something rotten, all condensed into a small space. Breathing hard, we stand in the street and look around us. We’re in a main thoroughfare now, judging from the traffic, but it’s still narrow. I feel squashed, smothered. On all sides, a crowd throngs around us. Most of them are dressed in rags. Hollow faces huddle three or four bodies deep against both edges of the road, dirty, hopeless, and lost. Many of them are children.

I’m scanning their faces frantically before I even realize what I’m doing. “Oscar,” I hear myself whisper. It hits me, and I break off before I can call out his name. Before I can start running again, sifting through the masses of them.

Apollon’s hand clamps onto mine, but he says nothing. He and Jonas are focused on Jacob, who is shaking violently. Tears are pouring from widened eyes down his face. I want to help him, but all I can do is stand here trying not to break down, myself.

“We need to find somewhere to regroup,” Jonas says quietly. “Get out of this mess.”

I cast around for somewhere to go, but as far as I can see, it’s piles upon piles. People, and people, and buildings looming over them. There’s no breathing room. No space. I have to force my breath to steadiness. It’s too much.

There is a commotion on the street ahead, maybe a block away. The ragged masses push away from the center, squashing and trampling each other in the process. We’re caught in a wave of motion and carried backward, but still we try to look. Where the commotion started, there’s a group of figures, similarly dressed in black with blue bandanas. They’re moving down the street toward us.

The wave of people suddenly backlashes from the other direction, and we’re pushed the opposite way from before. We manage to finally see why. On our opposite side, there’s another group of people. These are dressed primarily in white. One of them, clearly a leader, wears a purple doo rag and carries what might be the biggest gun I’ve ever seen. He raises it toward us.

Evolution Teaser #9

Author, Kate Wrath:

Today’s teaser:

There’s the crash of metal and glass, an explosion, and a big whoomph as heat rushes at my back, too close for comfort. The air, for just a moment, is hot and scented of chemical vapor.

Evolution Teaser #8

Author, Kate Wrath:

Another teaser….

“Hey, it’s readily available protein,” I say. “I have yet to eat cat, though. I don’t know if I could do it. They’re awful cute.”
“Cute and juicy,” Apollon declares. “If I gave you a cat right now, I bet you’d eat it.”

Evolution Teaser #7

Author, Kate Wrath:

Friendly (but not this cute) Sentries!

I step toward the Sentry, pushing all the nightmare memories away, and thump it on the side. “Let’s go, you metal pile of shit.”

…though I’m kind of thinking it would be fun if Sentries were absolutely adorable, but still deadly. :p  Like….

Eden:  Omg, it’s so cu—  AAAHHHHGGGG!

Evolution Teaser #5

Author, Kate Wrath:

Lol.  Have fun with this one. 

Beyond the fountain, six large columns raise the lit-up entrance of a grand building . At its center is a tall dome, and above that a tower, and at the top, a waving pink banner scattered in silver stars. But this is nothing compared to the ancient arch that stretches the night sky behind it, a marvel of engineering that could only have been built by the Forefathers.

Evolution Teaser #4

Author, Kate Wrath:

And another one…

We hear their yipping first, and stop in our tracks. We’re both unsure what makes that noise. We stand back to back, unable to tell what direction it’s coming from. It seems to be all around us. Getting closer.

Evolution Teaser #3

Author, Kate Wrath:

Here’s another teaser for those of you waiting on Evolution:

There are levels and levels of stairs. I’m filled with urgency to find their end, but torn between that and a longing to hold onto what I am right now.

Evolution Teaser #2

Author, Kate Wrath:

Another photograph teaser for Evolution.  Enjoy!

“They’re here,” Jonas answers, his whisper just a trail of breath in the musty air. “I could see the fire, still. Something blocked out its light as I was closing the door.”

Teaser fun…

Author, Kate Wrath:

I’ve been incredibly busy lately getting ready for the release of Evolution, so the blog has been a little neglected.

Here’s another lovely review of E.  This one is by author Elizabeth Davies.  I really enjoyed this review and loved that Elizabeth liked the book even though it isn’t her favorite genre. 

And just for fun, I think I’ll post a series of photograph teasers as we move along toward launch.  Don’t take them too literally, OK?  This one made me think of Matt’s house.

“Every time I step inside I have the feeling of being somewhere else, like this place belongs to a world different than the one we live in now.”
